The European Parliament procedure file indicates that the report outlining the European Commission’s action plan on retail financial services will be considered in mid-November.

The action plan, published in March 2017, forms part of the European Commission’s goal of establishing a capital markets union. It aims to increase consumer trust, empower consumers and reduce legal and regulatory obstacles, whilst supporting innovation in the industry.

Following publication of the action plan, the European Parliament’s Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs published a draft report on the action plan which contained a motion for a Parliament resolution. The draft report is available here; however, the final version, which will be discussed in Parliament, has not yet been published.
